Measles virus phosphoprotein (P) requires the NH2- and COOH-terminal domains for interactions with the nucleoprotein (N) but only the COOH terminus for interactions with itself

R N Harty et al. J Gen Virol. 1995 Nov.

Abstract

A mammalian two-hybrid system was used to characterize protein-protein interactions between the measles virus nucleoprotein (N) and phosphoprotein (P). Progressive deletions at both the amino- and carboxy-termini of P facilitated the mapping of two distinct domains on P that are important for interaction with N: (i) a domain mapping predominantly within the C-terminal 100 amino acids and (ii) a domain composed of the extreme amino-terminal residues. Using the same two-hybrid assay, we discovered that the P protein interacts strongly with itself. In contrast to the N-P interaction, only a single C-proximal domain of P was essential for P-P interaction.
